Quote

“Then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.”

William Wordsworth


These next shots are taken as Eileen and  I set out bird watching on this March trip on the Isle of Wight.  

As you look at them them, I will once again be flying home to Northern Ireland having enjoyed my stay.








 Can anyone tell me what this bee/wasp is please?



I have this variety of Daffodill at home so I am looking forward to seeing if they are in flower yet.  

Certainly on the I.O.W the plants are much further on there and the other day, my daughter, Gillian, took me to the Botanic Garden at Ventnor where it is quite tropical and not only did they have all the spring flowers out but a good number of summer flowering plants as well!

In due course I will be showing you photographs from that day out.  

Many thanks for visiting today.

  7. Wow, what a different daffodil, it doesn't have the cup-like center piece but looks more like a variation of a rose.
    I'd love to walk down that road with daffodils on both sides, it must smell heavenly. Safe travels!
